Overview

Light enables us to see yet is rarely seen. Scientists have been intrigued by light for centuries, yet your students may not have considered the nature of light. Exploring the Nature of Light introduces students to light as a form of energy by providing opportunities for students to investigate where light comes from and how it is produced; to experiment with light beams and shadow formation to determine how light travels; and to explore the phenomena of color and the electromagnetic spectrum.

STC–Secondary™ is a 16-unit, inquiry-centered middle school science curriculum developed by the National Science Resources Center, an organization of the Smithsonian Institution. Each STC–Secondary™ unit provides opportunities for students to experience scientific phenomena firsthand. A comprehensive, research-based curriculum, STC–Secondary™ is aligned with the National Science Education Standards.
